THe red stuff works just as good as the orange stuff, if applied the same way. Hard to get to much, because it squeezes out, and if it does it won't hurt anything, couse it won't harden or clog up anything. I suspect that the red stuff is actually better than the orange stuff but have no data to prove it.

GM actuallly used the stuff for its Cadillac northstar engine, but has recently switched to the same stuff one of my Porsche full time mechanics use, ie grey rtv silicone sealant. Seems that the stuff actually works in place of the orange and red stuff, only better.

I personally haven't the guts to try it but the Porsche mechanic swears by it.

Next rebuild of my race engine I will try it and see what happens.
